5/4 X 6 X RL Balata Decking Boards S4S E4E (Net Size 1" x 5-1/2")

The 5/4 x 6 Balata Decking Board (S4S E4E) is a premium tropical hardwood solution for exterior decking projects. Known for its density, durability, and refined appearance, Balata (Red Balau group) is naturally resistant to rot, decay, and insect attack, making it a low-maintenance alternative to chemically treated lumber or composites.

Milled to surfaced four sides (S4S) with eased four edges (E4E), this decking board provides smooth, installation-ready surfaces and safe, clean edges. With a net dimension of 1" x 5-1/2", it offers a balanced profile ideal for both residential and commercial decking applications.

Balata’s deep reddish-brown color and fine grain add warmth and elegance to outdoor spaces. Left unfinished, it weathers to a silver-grey patina while maintaining its strength and stability; finished with oil, it retains its rich natural tones.
